This isn’t, strictly speaking, outliner-related, but it is kind of.

(The software I’m about to introduce is iPadOS/macOS only, I’m afraid.)

A new app is just in the process of appearing (beta phase) called Hyperdeck. It’s a markdown-based presentation app, but with lots of very powerful features (including animations, code highlighting, support for live web pages and lots of other stuff). There are other markdown-based presentation apps around, but nothing remotely as powerful as what Hyperdeck appears to be.

More details at https://hyperdeck.io

I just wanted to thank you for adding that it's only Apple OS from the start.

Indeed! He's come a long way. Every post about a new app should start with the line: For xyz OS[es] only.

Come on, guys. We all know that Bill is not mad about Dana (at least, no longer). He usually recommend MacOS and iOS apps. ;-)

I'm glad he's no longer mad about Dana. Sometimes you have to let your anger go.

Ah, interesting difference in US vs. British usage there. “Mad about Dana” in BritEng = “Passionately in love with/adoring of Dana”. In AmerEng, of course, it means “Angry/furious about Dana”. Couldn’t be more different, really…

And yes, you’re right, it’s old hat: I was passionately adoring of my old AlphaSmart Dana, which now sits unused in a drawer somewhere (after a long and worthy career as my main writing platform). The nearest equivalent nowadays is the clunky and vastly overpriced FreeWrite. I’d love to see an updated version of the AlphaSmart Dana re-emerge like a butterfly into the sunshine of a new day.

I now use my iPad as the equivalent, with a rather neat folding Bluetooth keyboard.

I’m British, in case you hadn’t already guessed.

Cheers,
Bill

Ha - and I thought you were Irish - expressing a teenage crush about a singer!

More linguistic curiosities

I´m a native portuguese speaker and:

1. I´ve always understood MadAboutDona the Brit way, as beeing in love

2. Dana sounds like a female name to me, so I thought Dana was your wife or a girlfriend :-)


Thats it

No, in American English Mad about Dana means passionate with, crazy in love with Dana like in BritEng. Same as Mad for Dana would mean the same thing.

If you say Mad with Dana, that means you a little angry at Dana.

…

In the U.S. Dana is both a male and female name.

Two countries separated by a common language! ;)

Is that the Dana he's Mad about? Passionate about I mean.

I thought he was mad about Dana running away with the milkman.

Aw, shucks! In the UK, Dana the singer was all over the TV last week. You could hardly turn on a channel without hearing her sing her signature song (because of celebrations of a cancelled programme called the Eurovision Song Contest, which was instrumental in making Dana's name exactly 50 years ago). I imagined Bill at home watching, agog.

But now it turns out that Bill is mad about a computer, not an Irish singer in her 70s. Another illusion shattered.

All kinds of rumors arising....

Milkman, a computer, a singer?

Will we ever find the truth?

I am actually curious to know.
